Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of UT testing equipment technology, and in particular to a conformal UT scanning support mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic testing (UT) is a non-destructive testing method based on the principle of ultrasound. It utilizes the propagation characteristics of ultrasound within a test specimen. Ultrasonic waves are generated by a sound source, enter the specimen, and interact with the material and its defects, thereby altering their propagation direction or characteristics. The altered ultrasound waves are received by the testing equipment and can be processed and analyzed. Based on the characteristics of the received ultrasound waves, the presence and characteristics of defects in the specimen and its internal structure can be assessed. It has the advantages of being non-destructive, comprehensive, and highly sensitive, and is widely used in the testing of various materials.

[0003] In related technologies, a UT scanning device is used to scan and detect defects in carbon fiber sheets placed on a mounting frame. However, during the detection process, because the UT scanning device is set at a certain height and the detection roller needs to make full contact with the sheet, and the carbon fiber sheet is relatively long, the connection method of supporting the mounting frame with a bracket makes it easy for the UT scanning device to shake when moving and scanning, resulting in unstable support and making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the scanning and detection results.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background technology of this utility model, and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a conformal UT scanning support mechanism to ensure the stability of the support for carbon fiber plates during the scanning and testing process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a conformal UT scanning support mechanism, comprising: a pair of transverse frames arranged along the length of the plate, a plurality of rollers spaced apart between the transverse frames, and a plurality of support components spaced apart on the side of the two transverse frames facing the ground.

[0007] Each set of support components includes a support rod, a top plate, a bottom plate, and a connecting plate. The support rod is perpendicular to the transverse frame. The top plate and the bottom plate are respectively connected to both ends of the support rod, with the bottom plate located at the end of the support rod facing the ground and the top plate located at the end of the support rod facing the transverse frame. The lengths of the top plate and the bottom plate along the axis of the idler roller are both greater than the width of the transverse frame. The connecting plate is fixed to the side of the top plate facing the transverse frame and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transverse frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly is located between two adjacent idlers and is staggered with the idlers.

[0009] Furthermore, the support rod includes a first segment and a second segment, one end of the first segment is fixedly connected to one side of the top plate, and the other end is retractably connected to the second segment.

[0010] Furthermore, the second segment extends from one end of the first segment toward the other end, forming a hollow cavity. The end of the first segment extends into the cavity and is retractably connected to the second segment through the cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the support rod is polygonal.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing plates are provided between the support rod and the top plate, the reinforcing plates connecting the support rod and the top plate, and each reinforcing plate is correspondingly provided on each side of the support rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate has a right-angled triangular structure, and the two right-angled sides of the reinforcing plate are fixedly connected to the support rod and the top plate, respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting plate is bent into an L-shaped structure, and a plurality of strip grooves are provided at one end facing the top plate. The top plate is provided with a plurality of connecting holes, and the connecting holes are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the strip grooves.

[0015] Furthermore, a support column is vertically arranged on the side of the transverse frame away from the support assembly, and an adapter plate is fixedly arranged at both ends of the roller, with the adapter plate at both ends of the roller being fixedly connected to the support column on both sides.

[0016] Furthermore, the support column is provided with multiple grooves, which are arranged along the length direction of the support column.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a transverse frame and support components to support the plate, this utility model can form a stable support in both the horizontal and vertical directions, effectively preventing the UT scanning device from shaking during scanning. The length of the top plate and bottom plate along the axis of the roller is greater than the width of the transverse frame, thereby increasing the support area and further enhancing the stability of the support components. Moreover, the top plate and connecting plate are connected to multiple sides of the transverse frame respectively, providing stable support while maintaining a compact structure. This effectively solves the problem of easy shaking and unstable support in traditional UT scanning devices when inspecting carbon fiber plates, improving the accuracy and efficiency of UT inspection.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 The conformal UT scanning support mechanism shown includes: a pair of transverse frames 1 arranged along the length of the plate, a number of rollers 2 spaced apart between the transverse frames 1, and multiple sets of support components 3 spaced apart on the side of the two transverse frames 1 facing the ground.

[0031] Each set of support components 3 includes a support rod 31, a top plate 32, a bottom plate 33, and a connecting plate 34. The support rod 31 is set perpendicular to the transverse frame 1. The top plate 32 and the bottom plate 33 are respectively connected to the two ends of the support rod 31, and the bottom plate 33 is located at the end of the support rod 31 facing the ground, while the top plate 32 is located at the end of the support rod 31 facing the transverse frame 1. The lengths of the top plate 32 and the bottom plate 33 along the axis of the roller 2 are both greater than the width of the transverse frame 1. The connecting plate 34 is fixed to the side of the top plate 32 facing the transverse frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transverse frame 1.

[0032] This invention supports the sheet material by setting up a transverse frame 1 and a support assembly 3, which can form a stable support in both the horizontal and vertical directions, effectively preventing the UT scanning device from shaking during scanning. The length of the top plate 32 and the bottom plate 33 along the axis of the roller 2 is greater than the width of the transverse frame 1, thereby increasing the support area and further enhancing the stability of the support assembly 3. Furthermore, the top plate 32 and the connecting plate 34 are connected to multiple sides of the transverse frame 1, providing stable support while maintaining a compact structure. This effectively solves the problem of easy shaking and unstable support in traditional UT scanning devices when inspecting carbon fiber sheets, improving the accuracy and efficiency of UT inspection.

[0033] Based on the above embodiments, the support component 3 is located between two adjacent idler rollers 2 and is staggered with the idler rollers 2, so that the support component 3 and the idler rollers 2 can be used more rationally in space, forming a more stable support structure, so that the support force can be evenly distributed, and can better withstand the various forces and torques generated by the UT scanning device during the movement, so that the entire support mechanism can remain stable during operation.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, the support rod 31 includes a first segment 31a and a second segment 31b. One end of the first segment 31a is fixedly connected to one side of the top plate 32, and the other end is telescopically connected to the second segment 31b. By adjusting the telescopic length between the first segment 31a and the second segment 31b, the overall height of the support rod 31 can be easily adjusted, making the installation and adjustment of the support rod 31 simpler and faster, improving work efficiency, and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0035] Based on the above embodiment, the second segment 31b extends from one end of the first segment 31a toward the other end, forming a hollow cavity 32c. The end of the first segment 31a extends into the cavity 32c and is retractably connected to the second segment 31b through the cavity 32c. This allows the first segment 31a and the second segment 31b to form a tighter connection when connected. This not only increases the stability of the connection but also helps to disperse and resist the impact force on the support rod 31 from the outside, thereby improving the stability of the entire support mechanism.

[0036] Based on the above embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the support rod 31 is polygonal; compared with a circular cross-section, it can better withstand forces and torques from different directions, and can effectively prevent relative rotation between the first segment 31a and the second segment 31b, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing plates 35 are further provided between the support rod 31 and the top plate 32. The reinforcing plates 35 connect the support rod 31 and the top plate 32, and each reinforcing plate 35 is correspondingly provided on each side of the support rod 31. The design of the reinforcing plates 35 can effectively enhance the connection strength between the support rod 31 and the top plate 32. Since the reinforcing plates 35 are tightly connected to the two, they can jointly bear the force from the UT scanning device and the carbon fiber plate, significantly reducing the risk of deformation or damage to the support structure when under stress, and improving the overall stability.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the reinforcing plate 35 is a right-angled triangle structure, and the two right-angled sides of the reinforcing plate 35 are fixedly connected to the support rod 31 and the top plate 32 respectively. The right-angled triangle structure of the reinforcing plate 35 can more effectively transmit the force on the top plate 32 to the bottom plate 33 through the support rod 31, and has higher stability when resisting external forces, which can effectively reduce the deformation and shaking of the support mechanism.

[0039] Based on the above embodiment, the connecting plate 34 is bent to form an L-shaped structure, and a plurality of strip grooves 34a are opened at one end facing the top plate 32. The top plate 32 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 32a, and the connecting holes 32a are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the strip grooves 34a. The connecting member passes through the strip grooves and the connecting holes 32a to connect the top plate 32 and the connecting plate 34. By changing the relative position between the strip grooves 34a and the connecting holes 32a, the relative position between the connecting plate 34 and the top plate 32 is adjusted, thereby ensuring the position limiting function of the connecting plate 34 on the transverse frame 1 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the support mechanism during operation.

[0040] Based on the above embodiment, a support column 4 is vertically arranged on the side of the transverse frame 1 away from the support component 3, and an adapter plate 5 is fixedly arranged at both ends of the roller 2. The adapter plates 5 at both ends of the roller 2 are fixedly connected to the support columns 4 on both sides. The vertically arranged support column 4 supports the roller 2, thereby enhancing its stability. This ensures that the roller 2 is not prone to shaking or tilting when carrying carbon fiber sheet, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the UT scanning results.

[0041] Based on the above embodiments, the support column 4 is provided with multiple grooves 4a, which are arranged along the length direction of the support column 4; on the one hand, it reduces the overall weight of the support column 4, thereby reducing the stress on the support component 3, and on the other hand, it facilitates the connection of the end adapter plate 5 of the roller 2, which is flexible and adaptable.

[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
